The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 has significantly changed the rules governing the way in which charges must be made to Medicare concerning certain tests, including ultrasound, by a physician who provides these tests by means of an outside supplier. If the physician does not identify the supplier or indicate the amount charged by the supplier for the test, no payment is allowed, and the physician may not bill the beneficiary any amount for the test.
1987年的《综合预算协调法案》显著改变了有关规则，这些规则规定了由外部供应商提供某些检查（包括超声检查）的医生就这些检查向医疗保险收费的方式。如果医生未指明供应商或未注明供应商对该项检查收取的费用，则不允许支付费用，且医生不得就该项检查向受益人收取任何费用。
